Fixes reports of occasional driver timeouts while browsing the web

At the outset this is the driver to have before you unpack your copy of Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City, and RAGE, three of the biggest titles of this fall.

Driver timeouts while web browsing...oh so thats what that is! Was wondering why Firefox would just suddenly seize up for a moment while watching flash vids. Sometimes the browser itself would go all one color for a moment too.

I saw that also, but as I am using the 285.58 Quadro drivers, I suppose there are no benefits to using 285.62?

Well, just played through single player. I dunno why some of the early reviews knocked it a little. Found it very enjoyable. Maybe its because its not super long that they knocked it. ~5-6hrs. Lot of very visually stunning moments. Tiny bit of repetition in parts, clear enemies, move on, rinse, repeat. You'll want things set to high or ultra to enjoy them. No way a console could do the same visuals.

But I enjoyed the story a lot better than I have others. Didn't feel cookie cutter like BC2 or MW. Actually got to feel for the characters more like I did with BC1. There was just one sequence that is questionable which makes me think they had to cut something else, but I won't spoil it.

Performance...seemed better than in beta on my dual 460s. Still slight hiccups at times likely due to my other hardware limitations. The game in auto recommends me to High settings without FSAA. I turned them all up to Ultra with 2x MSAA. Didn't really see anything that was unplayable. FPS were pretty solid aside from the momentary hiccups.

Found a few bugs still in game. But overall I didn't see many. DICE seems to have really worked hard to get things good for launch.
